About MAKE

At MAKE, we believe creators deserve a banking solution that gets them. One that’s fast, intuitive, and built to help them grow. We’re building the world’s first financial platform tailored to content creators — making it easier to earn, spend, and save money across borders.

MAKE was founded with a specific purpose in mind to address the underserved needs of the Creator Economy often overlooked by traditional banking while bringing forward technology, banking, and global solutions for our Creator Economy Clients.

About the role:

We are looking for a talented Brand & Creative Lead who has evolved from a strong brand designer into a brand thinker. The ideal candidate is an owner who thrives in a fast-paced environment, leads without ego, and can balance creative excellence with execution, team development, and business priorities.

In this role, you will own how MAKE looks, sounds, and feels across every touchpoint. You will lead our brand identity, creative output, and design team, ensuring consistently high-quality work across all channels while driving brand strategy, narrative, and tone of voice. You'll shape how the team operates and scales, partner closely with teams across the business, and help build a distinctive brand that supports MAKE's growth.

Key Responsibilities:

• Own our visual identity and keep the brand consistent across everything we deliver

• Be the final quality bar on creative that goes out, making sure everything that ships meets a high standard and feels on-brand

• Own our full marketing design output across print, industrial, graphic, motion and sound

• Own our design strategy and how the team delivers: project management, getting work shipped on time, and how the team evolves over time 

• Lead and manage our two designers, growing the team as we need to

• Work closely with the wider business, product, growth, partnerships and the launch teams, to deliver the creative behind our campaigns and launches

• Be the guardian of our brand narrative and tone of voice, which are already defined, and keep them consistent everywhere

• Set the direction for our content and how we tell our story across our channels, including our thought leadership

• Help shape how we show up on socials and in our community

Qualifications:

• 4+ years as a brand designer

• You've started moving into the written and strategic side of brand. That could be owning tone of voice, working on thought leadership, shaping messaging, or brand storytelling

• A portfolio showing as least 2 full brand or identity projects you led end-to-end (not contributed to )

• Strong across the full design spectrum: print, graphic, 3D, motion. And some exposure to industrial and sound

• A high creative bar and the judgement to be the final eye on what ships, so everything that goes out feels on-brand and high quality

• You can own design strategy and delivery, not just the creative itself. Planning the work, managing projects, getting things shipped on time, and thinking about how the team works and scales

• Managed or mentored at least 1 or 2 designers, either as a proper line manager (ideally) or informally as a mentor/functional manager

• Comfortable being both strategic and hands-on. You can set the bigger direction and also get do the work

• Experience in fast-moving or early-stage places where things aren't fully built yet

• A feel for brand strategy. You can think about how the brand is positioned and how people perceive it, not just how it looks

Nice to have Qualifications:

• Taken a visual identity from a more rudimentary scrappy experience to being more polished

• Experience in the creator industry, or luxury, aspirational brands

• Experience building or improving how a design team works, e.g. setting up systems, processes or using AI to move faster

What’s in it for You

• Competitive Salary: Attractive compensation and relocation package commensurate with experience and skills.

• Professional Growth: Opportunities for career advancement and personal development in a fast-growing company.

• Inclusive Culture: Be part of a diverse and collaborative team committed to innovation and excellence.
